The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom is a self-help book by the author Don Miguel Ruiz.

The book outlines a code of conduct (supposedly) based on Toltec teachings that purport to improve one’s life.

"[4] The central point of the book is that a person's life is determined by agreements they have made with themselves, with others, with God, and with society as a whole.

[3][better source needed] The book is organized via explorations of the four agreements: Chapters include the relevant linguistic and historical context for each topic.

Ruiz says that by making a pact with the agreements described in the book, the individual is able to create a happier and more successful life.
